Current Favorites

Hey guys!!,

I can't believe its been almost a month since I have blogged. I don't know where the time has gone, but I promise to get back on track. I figured it was too late to do a November Favorites so I decided I would share with you some of my current favorites!

First up I want to talk about a couple of hair products I've been using a lot lately. I've been really loving the Suave dry shampoo. It really helps with second day hair and also helps to create great volume





















Next up is the Bumble and Bumble styling lotion. I spray this in my hair before I use any heat on my hair and it creates noticeable shine.

Since it is winter and I'm super pale I like to use a little self tanner to maintain a healthy glow. Lately I've been using the Victoria Secret Beach Sexy tinted self-tan body spray. It gives a great color without being super dark but is easily buildable. I am always looking for the best self tanners so if you have a favorite please comment and let me know :)

Next up are a couple of brushes I have been absolutely in love with. Real techniques brushes by Samantha Chapman are so amazing!! The two I have been in love with are the expert face brush which makes applying foundation seamless and the blush brush which creates a perfect glow on your cheeks.

For face products I have three favorites. First up is mac mineralized skinfinish. My color is light plus. I love applying this to my face especially the t zone after my foundation. It really helps pro long my makeup all day.

For blush I have been wearing Wet n' Wild's Pearlescent pink a beautiful pink shade with gold shimmer.

For highlight I have been using and Elf eyeshadow brightening eye pot. It came in one of the get the look sets it doesn't have a specific name just #00301. But its a beautiful shimmery shade.

For mascara I have gone back to an old favorite. Covergirl Lash Blast. This will probably always be a favorite. Its great for lengthening and separating lashes.

I have two current favorite lipsticks. The first one is Revlon's super lustrous 477 Black cherry. This dep berry red is perfect for winter. Its such a beautiful color.

My other favorite lipstick is Mac's amplified saint germain. A gorgeous hot pink color. It's pretty bright for winter but I love it so much.

My last favorite is a nail polish. CVS is having there annual beauty discounts. Select makeup and nail polish has been marked down to 50% or 75%. So I grabbed a couple of things one of them being the Nicole by OPI Kardashian Kollection glitter polish in Rainbow in the S-Kylie. Its so beautiful with chunks of different sized multicolored glitter. Perfect for the holidays and it was half off!!

SO thats all my current favorites!! What are yours??

Collective Haul (Ulta, CVS, MAC..)

Hey guys,

Back with another haul. Over the past couple of weeks I have purchased a few items I have been saving to show you all. So lets jump right into it!

The first thing I want to mention is the mirror. I picked that up at TJ Maxx for $12.99. A pretty boring purchase haha just needed a new makeup mirror.

Next up I finally purchased the Mac mineralized skinfinish. I have been debating on getting this product for so long I finally just did it. And now I want to go back for soft and gentle lol. I picked the shade light plus since its winter time and I don't have a tan. I believe this was $28. 

Next up I headed to CVS. First I grabbed the new Loreal True Match Lumi foundation. I saw MakeupByTiffanyD's video on this foundation and I really wanted to try it. I grabbed the shade porcelain light ivory is W1-2. Again because I am totally lacking in the tan department. I don't remember the exact price I paid but I think around $9.

While I was there I also decided to pick up a couple of nail polishes. Wet n Wild's spoiled line has some really cute colors for very cheap. $1.99 ea. So I grabbed two in the colors : pumping gas and jewelry heist. 

Next I went to Ulta, for the first time ever!! Mainly because its a pretty good drive away. I really could go crazy in that store but I held back since I'm saving money for Christmas and just picked up what I needed. 

I have been wanting a couple of new brushes and heard really great things about the Real Techniques brushes by Samantha Chapman of Pixiwoo on youtube. They were also buy 1 get 1 50% off. So I picked the expert face brush and the blush brush. Both brushes were $8.99 and I got one for half off. 

I also wanted to try a Joico hair product and saw some mini ones available for $3 which was perfect. So I grabbed the K-Pak Moisture intense hydrator, can't wait to use it. 

Okay guys thats my little collective haul. Hope you enjoyed it!!

Favorite Nude Lip Products

Hey guys,

I am a huge fan nude lips so I thought I would share with you some of my favorites.

First up is Mac's Creme d'nude. I love mac lipsticks especially they cremesheens they are so moisturizing and smell great. The color is a perfect nude color not to orangey or pink, they perfect blend.

next is Revlon's colorburst lipstick in soft nude. This is a little bit of a deeper nude than creme d'nude.

Next is my absolute favorite nude. Revlon's lip butter in creme brulee. This one is my favorite because it is more of a brown undertone and super moisturizing. If you have dry or chapped lips wearing nude lipstick can highlight that, but the lip butter is so moisturizing it hides those imperfections. 

Maybelline nude nuances is another favorite because it has a more pink undertone. Some people online have compared it to Mac's Hue.

Next up is another Revlon lip butter this time in creamsicle. This a more sheer peachy nude color. I liked using this color during the summer and spring. But it great for everyday.

I thought I would also include some gloss. Mac's c-thru is a great sheer true nude color.

The last gloss is Elf's hypershine gloss in berry cherry. This is a deeper nude gloss, perfect for the colder months.

Even though I have so many nude lipsticks and glosses I'm always looking for more, what are your favorites??

MAC Saint Germain Lipstick

Hey guys,

I just wanted to do a quick little post about Mac's Saint Germain amplified creme lipstick. I know its fall and I am a HUGE fan of dark lips but I wanted to change things up and pick up a bright lipstick.

Saint Germain is a really pretty bright pink color with purple undertones. I suggest trying this color out at the MAC counter because it definitely looks different on different skin tones. Mac lipsticks smell amazing (not that this is a reason to buy them just an added bonus) Also because it is a creme lipstick it is moisturizing and doesn't looking drying or flaky like some brights or nudes can look.

This is just a little post but stay tuned for an I <3 Fall post, and my ombre hair post that I still haven't done haha.

September Favorites

Hey Guys!!! 

Can’t believe its been sooo long since I have put up a post. Sorry about that.But I am back with my September Favorites. I love everything about fall and so excited that it is finally here. 

Lets get started with the favorites. First off I LOVE a great deep berry/wine lip for fall. A couple of favorites are Mac’s hangup and Revlon’s just bitten kissable balm stain in crush. Another Revlon favorite is their lip butter in candy apple a really pretty and hydrating red lip color.

I have fallen back in love with a couple of mascaras Rimmel’s lash accelerator which is amazing at lengthening and separating lashes. Covergirl’s lash blast is also an amazing mascara I have been using a lot of lately. I have also been loving lining my eyes with pencil liner and smudging it out I’ve been using sephora’s black pencil liner.

As far as shadows go I know its pretty boring but I’m STILL constantly using my Urban Decay Naked2 pallette. In particular the colors chopper,tease and blackout. 

For nails I have been obsessed with Essie’s Wicked. A gorgeous deep red almost brown color. 

Some other favorites to note are:

White pumpkins I absolutely adore them I think they are perfect for fall and elegant.

Bath and Body works Leaves candle and any apple cinnamon candle just smells like fall.

Ombre hair I recently did it to myself which I will make a whole post about it. I think its perfect for fall. (lets see how many times I can say fall in this post lol)

The sock bun hairstyle:

This is kind of a messy version but I just love how effortless this style is.

I followed MakeupbyTiffanyd’s video: SOckBUn seriously easy!

Also I have to mention that I am SOOO happy Revenge is back!! I watched all of season 1 on netflix and am so psyched its back!

Okay guys those are my favorites! Hope you enjoyed this post! Sorry its been so long but I have a couple of posts coming up hint: ELF disney villians collection, and ombre hair! =)

July Favorites

I just have a few things this month so let’s get into it. I feel like July flew by.

Maybelline 24hr color tattoo in bad to the bronze. I love this product. It’s a great base for a nice smokey bronze eye.    I’ve never worn it for 24 hrs but it definitely has some great staying power.
Sally Hansen Xtreme wear nail color in golden-I. Love this polish I have used it for so many different nail looks. Whether as an all over color or an accent color.
Paula dorf brow duo in brunette. I love this shadow duo I use it everyday on my brows with my elf small angled brush.
Mac lipstick in creme d’ nude. This is a great nude lipstick and I love how moisturizing the cremesheens are.

To top off my nude lip sometimes I’ll use macs lipglass in c-thru. Just a little bit adds the perfect amount of shine.

This month I started using an old revlon eye shadow quad in 01 Copper Spice. I love the rich colors in this palette.

Besides these few beauty favorites I have been loving my new iphone. I’m constantly using the instagram and pinterest apps.

HAULLL

Hey guys, so I went a little crazy this weekend and I thought I would share with you all of my purchases:

First I picked up 2 nail polishes at CVS, they were on sale for 99 cents each. They are the spoiled line made my wet n wild. I got one in a pretty nude called “show me some skin” and a sparkly silver in “I have no reception”:

Next I went to wal-mart:

first I got more glamoflauge concealer just as a back up, this is a serious heavy duty concealer, for $6:

Then I saw hard candy had some beautiful blushes. At first I was going to get that fox in a box blush everyone raves about but this blush just looked so pretty and perfect for summer.I believes it was $5 Its called honeymoon:

I also picked up some lashes for $3:

Next up Target. I got a plain cami and I also picked up this cute tank on sale for $8:

Pepp and I headed to the mall yesterday and naturally our first stop was Sephora. I wanted to try out a new fragrance so I picked up a mini bottle of Amazing grace by philosophy for $15:

I had 100 pts on my beauty insider card so they gave me this blow dry cream:

Then we headed over to MAC and Pepp got a great new foundation! I picked up a lipstick in creme d’nude:

I also grabbed a lipglass in c-thru a pretty nude gloss:

Next up was vans, at vans I picked up 2 shirts:

I thought this shirt was cute and I could pair it with a cami underneath.

I thought this tank was super cute.

Okay guys thats my haul I hoped you liked it ! =)

Getting Bronze

Hey guys!,

 I thought I would pop on and talk about bronzers since summer is right around the corner. I currently have five bronzers in my makeup collection I swatched all of them below and will discuss my likes and dislikes about each and their price points:

1. Jane Mojave shimmering bronzer:

This bronzer is cool because you have all the different shades that can be used individually or swirled together. For the swatch I just mixed them all together. I don’t use this one all that often because it does have tons of shimmer so I definitely don’t recommend this one for contouring. However if you want a nice shimmery glow this might be right for you. I picked up mine at rite aid for 5.99. I don’t see this particular bronzer on the Jane website but they do have similar ones which I have linked here: Jane Bronzer , this one is actually on sale for $3. 

2. Sephora blockbuster kit bronzer: 

This bronzer is a little different because it is apart of a bigger kit. The blockbuster kit sells for $49.50 and contains tons of products, if you would like to see a review on it let me know. I included it because it is a nice bronzer but similar to the Jane it contains shimmer. I haven’t seen it sold separately but Sephora does have a limited edition bronzer/blush duo for $22 that looks pretty similar. Honestly I’m not sure if it is worth money I’ve only used mine because I got the big kit. I would say head over to Sephora to swatch and try it out for yourself.

3. Too Faced Chocolate Soleil:

This bronzer is one of my favorites. There is absolutely no shimmer in it which makes it perfect for contouring or an overall bronzed look. Also it smells just like chocolate which is an added bonus. The only downside is that it retails at Sephora for $29. 

4. NYC Smooth skin Bronzing powder in Sunny:

NYC’s Sunny is definitely another one of my favorites. I tend to like matte bronzers a lot more and this is a cheaper alternative to the too faced bronzer. They look pretty similar but for a fraction of the cost. This bronzer retails for $2.99 and I picked mine up from CVS. 

5. MAC Golden:

I have this bronzer in the fab-racadabra bronze face kit which unfortunately I don’t think they sell anymore, you might be able to find it online. For me personally I wasn’t all that impressed. I’m not sure if its because it was in this kit and is better on its own but it is a very sheer bronzer. This might good for you if you just want a subtle bronzed glow. Golden has a tiny bit of shimmer to it as well. 

Okay guys, hope you enjoyed this big post about bronzers!

LIPSTICK COLLECTION/HAUL

Hi guys today Pepp and I went to CVS and I picked up four new lipsticks. I purchased two new revlon lip butters in creamsicle and tutti frutti, revlon colorburst lipstick in soft nude, and rimmel lasting finish by kate 01. I originally only went to the store for the lip butter tutti frutti but as usual ended up with more. 

So I thought I would show you guys my lipstick collection, I only have 10 which seems so little compared to all the people on youtube or with beauty blogs but I think I have a nice range of colors and to be honest I typically wear gloss more, but recently  I have been wearing lipstick more. 

Here are some swatches of all the lipsticks

Another swatch with all the names listed. 

My lipstick collection! Let me know if you have any questions. 

Just to add I think my favorites for spring/summer will be: tutti frutti which is a really pretty coral, soft nude, creamsicle which is a more peachy nude color, cotton candy (a rosy pink color) and kate moss’ red rimmel lipstick ( a true red).
